9 Detailed Description

The SC8102 is a dual-output synchronous buck converter with a wide input voltage range. The SC8102 is configured to provide a fixed 5-V or customized output voltage programmed by FB pin. Each channel offers max 3A continuous output capacity with ±5% current limit accuracy.

The SC8102 operates in a fixed frequency current mode control to regulate the output voltage in Constant Voltage (CV) mode. If output current reaches its limit, the SC8102 enters Constant Current (CC) mode while output voltage drops. If the output current still goes larger, SC8102 enters hiccup as short circuit protection when output voltage is lower than 2V. The SC8102 adopts fixed line compensation and programmable operating frequency for different user’s application. The internal loop compensation simplifies the design process and save the external components.

The SC8102 works in two different modes: PFM and PWM mode. In PFM mode, high efficiency can be achieved in light load condition. In PWM mode, the switching frequency is same both for light load and heavy load conditions and output ripple can be reduced.

9.1 Feature Description

9.1.1 Enable and Programmable UVLO

The SC8102 has an enable control pin EN: pulling it high enables the IC and pulling it low disables the IC. Connect EN to VIN for automatic startup.

EN pin can also be reused for VIN under voltage protection. Connecting the center tape of the divider resistors between VIN and GND programs the VIN under voltage threshold and restart voltage, as shown in Figure. 4

The VIN under voltage threshold can be calculated as the following equation.

(

)

When the input voltage is higher than the startup threshold, the SC8102 goes back to normal operation.

Figure.4 UVLO Threshold Programming

9.1.2 Startup and Shutdown

The SC8102 integrates an internal circuit that controls the ramp up of output voltage during start-up and prevents the

converter from the large inrush current. During the startup phase, the internal soft-start circuit increases the voltage on FB pin gradually so that the output voltage slope follows the FB pin voltage slope until the target voltage is reached.

9.1.3 Mode Selection

The SC8102 integrates two different operating modes: PWM mode and PFM mode.

In PWM mode, SC8102 always works in constant frequency for the whole load range, which can achieve the best output voltage performance. The efficiency is low since negative inductor current appears at light load condition.

In power save mode with pulse frequency modulation (PFM), the efficiency can be improved at light load condition while output voltage ripple can be a little larger compared with PWM operation.

9.1.4 Output Voltage Setting

The SC8102 can be configured for two fixed 5.05V output ports with FB pin connected to GND. The output voltage can also be configured for customized values by using external feedback resistors. The FB status is only detected when IC is powered up, so the FB configuration setting is latched and cannot be changed until SC8102 is powered down and restart again.

If alternative output voltage is required, the following equation can be used to calculate the divider resistor.

(

)

Where:

VFB_REF = Internal reference voltage 1.22V

RUP and RDWON = Resistor divider at FB connected to VOUT and AGND.

9.1.5 Line Drop Compensation

The SC8102 is capable of compensating the output voltage drop, caused by a long trace, to keep a fairly constant 5V load-side voltage. The internal comparator compares the voltages across the two sense resistors and selects the larger one to compensate the line drop. This function is enabled when FB pin is connected to AGND

When using default 20mΩ output sensing resistor, the SC8102 provides 44mV/A fixed line drop compensation rate for long cables, as shown in Figure 5. The line drop compensation amplitude increases linearly as the load current increasing.

Figure.5 Line Drop Compensation vs. Sensing Voltage

9.1.6 Switching Frequency

The switching frequency can be set by a resistor between FREQ pin and GND. Figure.6 shows the relationship between operating frequency and resistor value.

Figure.6 Switching Frequency vs. Setting Resistor

For minimal external components and simplifying the design process, the SC8102 also supports 120-kHz operating frequency if FREQ pin is floating.

9.1.7 Output Power Limit

The output power limit can be set by connecting a resistor between PWR pin and GND. The following table shows the relationship between output power limit and the resistor.

Table. 1 Relationship between RPWR and power limit

RPWR 56 KΩ 68 KΩ 82 KΩ 100 KΩ 120 KΩ

Pout(typ.) 41W 34W 28W 24W 20W

* The RPWR must be close to PWR pin to avoid switching noise

The output power limit function helps customer to control the total power delivery of the system. Especially in the application of Quick Charge, the total power delivery should be same even though the VOUT is different. Due to this function, the output current limit can be different according to different output voltage.

9.1.8 Constant Voltage / Constant Current Mode

SC8102 operates either in CV (constant voltage) mode or CC (constant current) mode and automatically changes from CV to CC smoothly. In CV mode, SC8102 regulates the output voltage. As long as output current limit threshold is reached, SC8102 enters CC mode and the output voltage drops while output current is clamped at the setting values.

SC8102 both monitors the two output ports current limit. In case either of the two outputs current reaches setting current limit, SC8102 enters CC mode.

The current limit can be set by the current sensing resistors by the following equation.

Where, RSNS is the value of current sense resistor.

Usually, the BC1.2 mode limit is set at 2.8A by default with an external sensing resistor RSNS=20mΩ.When the voltage drop cross the sensing resistor gets higher than 54mV, the driver is turned off and in this way, the output current is limited. Table 2 shows some typical RSNS value and output current limit relationship.

Table. 2 Relationship between RSNS and current limit

RSNS Output Current Limit

16mΩ 3.5A

20mΩ 2.8A

24mΩ 2.33A

30mΩ 1.87A

9.1.9 Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO function protects the chip from operating at insufficient power supply. The chip disables all the function if input voltage in lower than 4.0V and it doesn’t start up again until input voltage is higher than 4.2V.

9.1.10 Output Over-Voltage Protection

SC8102 adopts an output over-voltage protection (OVP) with ±1% accuracy. When FB pin is connected to GND, in case the output voltage is higher than 5.55V, the buck converter stops switching until OVP status is removed. When FB is connected with two divider resistors, OVP is triggered in case the FB voltage is higher than 110% normal reference voltage.

9.1.11 Short Circuit Protection and Hiccup

The SC8102 integrates a hiccup mode which is triggered once the output voltage is lower than 2V. In hiccup mode, SC8102 periodically stops switching for 500ms and then tries to restart with output current increasing to current limit for 20ms. This protection mode is especially useful when the

output is dead-shorted to ground. The average short-circuit current is greatly reduced to alleviate the thermal issue and to protect the converter. Once the short-circuit condition is removed, SC8102 exits hiccup mode and goes back to normal operation.

9.1.12 Over Temperature Protection

The over temperature protection (OTP) prevents the chip from operating at exceedingly high temperatures. When the silicon die temperature exceeds 165 , SC8102 is shut

down. When the temperature drops below threshold (typically 150), the chip is enabled again.

10 Application Information

10.1 Input and Output Capacitor Selection

The input current to the Buck converter is discontinuous, therefore the input capacitor should be carefully selected. At

least 30µF input capacitor is required for small input voltage

ripple and stability. The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or ceramic. MLCC ceramic capacitor has good high

frequency filtering with low ESR, above 60 µF X5R or X7R

capacitors with higher voltage rating than operating voltage with margin is recommended. For example, if the highest operating input voltage is 12V, select at least 16V capacitor and to secure enough margin, 25V voltage rating capacitor is recommended. If electrolytic or tantalum capacitor is used, at

least 10µF ceramic capacitor must be placed close to IC’s

VIN pin, to improve the high frequency performance(stability and EMI radiation). The input voltage ripple caused by the capacitance can be calculated by:

The output capacitor is recommended to be larger than 80µF.

The output voltage ripple is estimated as the following equation

If electrolytic or tantalum capacitor is used, low ESR

capacitor is recommended and 10µF ceramic capacitor is

needed in parallel.

10.2 Inductor Selection

For better power limit regulation, a larger inductance is recommend to make sure the system operates in CCM mode at the max load, especially the max VIN and the max VOUT. The min inductance is calculated as follows:

The inductor DC resistance value (DCR) affects the

conduction loss of switching regulator, so around 10mΩ n

DCR is recommended for the first selection. If the current is relatively small, high DCR inductor can be selected. But if switch current is high, just like around 10A, then select the

lowest DCR inductor as much as possible because 10mΩ

DCR also causes 1W power loss.

The inductor saturation current ISAT should be higher than input / output current with sufficient margin.

10.3 PCB Layout Guide

For best performance, PCB layout should be carefully designed to avoid instability, noise and EMI. Minimizing the area of alternating current and voltage loops in the layout helps reduce EMI. For a BUCK converter, the critical loop area is showed in figure 7:

Here shows some guidelines for reference:

1) The input capacitor (CVIN, 10uF, MLCC) should be close to IC to minimize the critical path area and make sure the current flows through the CVIN first, then VIN pin.

2) The VCC capacitor (CVCC, 1uF, MLCC) should be close to VCC pin and connected to PGND pin directly, to avoid noise and instability.

3) The power limit resistor and line drop compensation resistor (R-PWR) are sensitive, it should be close to the corresponding pin (keep away from switching node) and connected to AGND pin directly.

4) The FB feedback resistor should be close to FB pin and be away from switching node. A feed-forward capacitor is highly recommended to prevent instability.

5) The current sense traces should be connected to the current sense resistor’s pads in Kelvin sense way as below, and routed in parallel (differential routing)

6) The RC snubber is connected between SW and PGND to absorb switching noise. The snubber should be close to SW and GND pin and minimize the loop area to optimize EMI.

7) The boot capacitor should be close to SW and BOOT pin

8) The SNSN, AGND and PGND are in the same physical net, be careful when using copper pour.
